Table 19.3 gives details of cattle and buffalo population at various age groups and indicates annual growth rate of each category from 2003 to 2007. The cross-bred cattle population is increasing at an annual growth rate of 7.58% against the growth rate of only 1,83 % in case of indigenous cattle. The same trend of indigenous cattle is observed in case of buffalo population with annual growth rate of 1.84%
